Example, in one of the packets the following is sent as the zone_id for Butcher Block:
44 00

On Intel you get (correctly):
68

On Sparc you get:
17408

Currently structures are "laid on top of" the data from the packets, they are not converted to/from network byte order, etc.

If you want to port EQEmu to Sparc more power to you, and please contribute back the changes. But it is not as trivial as a recompile.
